Wax is a natural substance... you can eat all the carnauba and beeswax you want
with no ill effects. Maybe you're thinking auto finish protectants, like
simoniz... those kinds are blends that contain petroleum distillates, and the
modern protectants are polymers that bind to teh modern auto finishes, contain
no wax whatsoever, they'd slide right off the porcelain... I'd not use those.
In any event dishwashing compounds will make short work of removing whatever
wax one chooses.
